Our beginning with our new licensing program has been so very successful: we are already receiving the many requests for music on DVDs and micro-film promotions.

So far, our greatest satisfaction comes from the fact that we have been requested by the Canadian Phi Group Inc., to use Gianluca Luisi's piano performance of Mozart's Sonata in D Major as soundtrack for the film Turbid. This is the first feature directed by George Fok. Turbid, was recently officially selected for the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma in Montreal - says Marie-France Barbier, Creative Team Coordinator of Phi Group Inc. (see the official site). We are very pleased to have this request and to supply Gianluca Luisi's fine performance to them.

Some shots taken from the film Turbid.

The producers seem to understand the benefits of this new type of licensing: no longer royalties and dispersing practices, only one organization to contact for your needs, a price which is pre-cleared and a signature, all completed to the finish for you.

We sincerely hope that all of our products will be most successful and we stand behind our approach to the production of quality recordings of fine Classical musical performances.

Conceived with the purpose of offering Astor Piazzolla's tangos by playing those instruments which are its vital core, the TrisTango has shown an ability of combining both a faithful and a creative interpretation of the original music. The trio - now a quartet! - has remained far from numberless interpretations which only emphasize the melodic aspect of Piazzolla's music. It has gone where the young Piazzolla in the fifties got inspiration for his new music, that is contemporary classical music - and, most of all, jazz - but it has expanded its performances by absorbing the evocative sounds of new contaminations, such as ethnic music and has given wide space to improvisations. The result is an overwhelming emotional strenght which pours out from the musicians on to the audience.

Its eclecticism allows the TrisTango to perform both in classical music seasons and jazz festivals, and furthermore it is really interesting with orchestra accompaniment.

The sound (captured with 6 Neumann mics.) and the executive production are rigorously signed by Alessandro Simonetto, founder of onclassical.com; post-production and mastering are made by Daniele Roccato using a natural convolution.

Here it is the interview (Italian with English subtitles) about the new release of OnClassical: 'round Piazzolla signed by TrisTango: Daniele Roccato (doublebass), Marco Tezza (piano), Massimiliano Pitocco (bandoneon) and Saverio Tasca (vibraphone and percussion).

The (real) compact disc can be purchased (see contact info) at a price of 15 euros (including expenses).
